Hope everyone enjoyed the last chapter. ...and for everyone asking... to quote a certain someone "..."As for finn, rachel and the rest, they're called happy endings not happy middles"

Sorry its taken me a while to update! I just needed to get some more inspiration for the story! Here it goes...

I still don't own glee...

He paced across his kitchen for what seemed like the hundredth time that day. He couldn't think straight. He was going to meet his daughter. An actual piece of him. "Hold it together Hudson." He muttered to himself.

His brain was wired. He kept replaying last night over and over in his mind. They had kissed. It had felt amazing. More importantly it had felt right and he knew he had today to prove it. Today was the day he would win his family back. No matter what the cost.

He glanced at the clock that seemed to tick louder than ever. It read 10.30...would it matter if he turned up early? This was Rachel Berry, her clock did run like 10 minutes before everyone else's. Deciding he couldn't wait any longer, he grabbed his wallet and keys and made his way out of the apartment.

As he went to reverse the car, his eyes glanced down at the back seat and he smiled to himself slightly. For years he had wanted this and soon enough, his daughter would be sat there and he couldn't wait...he wondered what she looked like. He hoped she was a miniature Rachel in every way.

The journey over to Rachel's dad's seem to fly by and soon enough he was staring at that large door, his heart racing in his chest. He laughed at the memory of his 16 year old self standing here, shaking at the thought of meeting not one, but two dads. His relationship with Rachel never seemed easy back then, let alone now. He pressed his hand to the bell and waited for someone to answer. Within a minute the door swung open and Rachel looked up at him...

"Finn! Hi! How are you? Come through...I just need to finish getting Amelia ready, I wasn't expecting you to be early." She looked nervous he thought. She flashed him a smile knowingly at him, thinking of all those years waiting for him to arrive, always late. "So, what do you have planned for today? I wasn't sure whether to plan or not? Its your first day with her and all, so I thought you could maybe make it your day? No one is in by the way. My dads are at work and well, Jake has gone out to town to get a few things..." She waved her hand for him to follow her through the house and motioned for him to sit down, she sat down beside him and placed her hand lightly on his thigh. "Finn, I want you to be ok with all of this, so well are you sure your going to be fine? I won't judge you at all. I know this pretty big for you."

He raised his face to look into her eyes. They stared back, full of concern for him. "Ill be fine Rachel. Can I see her?"

"Of course. Wait here, I'll go and get her." With that, she swiftly moved off the couch and left the room.

He sat and stared at the door. Taking a deep breath, he wiped his hands down the front of his jeans. He didn't know where to put himself. Should he stand or sit? God he felt himself starting to panic. What if he turned into that clumsy idiot? What if she cried because of him? Oh God! He heard her footsteps coming down the stairs and heard Rachel humming gently. He recognised that tune and it immediately calmed him. He wondered if she always hummed that song for her. He gathered his thoughts together and steadied himself. He heard a tiny giggle near the door and realised it was her. He thought about going to greet them but remembered Rachel's words and stayed exactly where he was.

"So Finn, meet Amelia". He looked up and let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding. In Rachel's arms was the most adorable toddler he had ever seen, and he had helped make her. He was about to speak, when Amelia pointed at him and giggled that same laugh.

"Finn, would you like to hold her?" He nodded silently and then reached out to take his baby girl. She held her small arms out to him and tugged at his shirt when she was in his arms.

He couldn't speak. She really was incredible. A perfect mix of the both of them. It was strange looking at that little piece of him. She looked so small and delicate compared to his giant frame. His eyes and nose looking back at him. She had Rachel's smile. She kept on smiling at him, almost like she knew who he was. It was then he noticed what she was clutching onto. In her tiny hand was a soft book, that had "my daddy" stitched on the front. Gently taking it from her he realized what it was. It was full of pictures of him, some with Rachel. She pressed her small hand to his face and he took her tiny hand in his large one. He wasn't crazy. She really did know him.

He looked over to Rachel, who now sat on the couch opposite them with tears brimming from her eyes. "I made her that. It was the first thing I did when I found out, I was pregnant with her. I know what I did was wrong Finn, but I was adamant she know you. I wanted her to know you in some way at least. I know it doesn't make up for the lost year and half, but well I think she knows who you are." She ended with a small smile, whilst glancing down at her daughter.

He nodded slowly and returned the smile. " For what it's worth, I'm sorry to and I sort of understand why you did what you did. Not that I agree with it, but I don't want to argue. Anyway, I don't want to waste the day, crying like a girl. It's my first family day and I'm going to show my little girl what Lima is ALL about."

As he pushed the clips of her car seat shut, and grinned at his sleepy girls face, he couldn't thank Kurt enough, Sure he was a royal pain in his butt, but no one could beat his organisational skills. The amount of toddler things Finn now owned was amazing for the 24 hours he had known about his daughter. This had certainly gone down well with Rachel she saw he was taking the whole dad thing seriously.

So far, the day had been amazing. They had gone to the zoo, where Amelia had been intrigued by all the new animals. Turns out New York babies don't see that many animals apart from the ones in their books. The day was not nearly over and he didn't think this feeling would ever go away. For the first time in 2 years he had felt whole and happy. This felt right. Rachel was by his side once again.

Settling down on the bench they found in the park, he gently rocked Amelia to sleep in her stroller. She looked even more cute asleep. Just like a sleeping Rachel. He couldn't bear to tear his eyes of her. Except he knew he had to. They had been avoiding the subject all day, both trying not to make it awkward. They had made it through this far, but it was starting to become too weird.

"Rachel"

"So can we talk?"

They both talked at the same time. He nodded for Rachel, indicating she go first.

"About last night. Erm well I wanted to apologise. I shouldn't have led you on like that, well technically you kissed me, but I should never have kissed you back. I just...well I wasn't thinking really...I have Jake and I'm engaged." It looked to him as if she was trying to convince herself rather than him. He could always see straight past her lies.

He interrupted "Cut the crap...Please don't pretend with me. I can see you're not happy with him. I can make you happy Rach. Can't you see I'm the one you're supposed to be with? We are your family. We are meant to be. Sure it's taken me a long time to see it and a child I didn't know I had to show me but we don't work apart. You're like air to me Rachel. If he really meant that much to you, why would you go into a bar in Lima, parading my rings about? Huh answer me that? I know you feel the same." He grabbed her hand but she still refused to look at him. "Fine. Then let me show you."

Without giving her a chance to react, he moved towards her and wrapped his hands around her waist pulling her towards him. He crushed his lips on hers. He felt her try to pull away but she surrendered to her feelings and he felt her kiss him back. More urgent than ever before.

Gently he broke away from her. His large hands cupped her face. She bit down on her lip, like she always did when she was nervous.

"That was something Rachel, but no pressure, I know you need to sort out everything but thank you for giving me this chance." He softly stroked a wisp of her back behind her ear. "Come on my little girl has some very excited grandparents to meet."
